Job Description
Physical Therapist – $88K–$95K + Benefits
Stuart, FL
What We’re Looking For
We need a Physical Therapist with outpatient experience who is comfortable making treatment decisions independently and managing a variety of orthopedic cases.
Patients won’t all be at the same stage of recovery. Some will need basic mobility work after surgery. Others will be ready for heavier strengthening, return-to-work preparation, or higher-level functional activity.
The therapist in this role needs to recognize those differences and treat accordingly.
